[QUOTE="Ghostryder, post: 179832, member: 5642"] Ive had issues in the past where load equalizers were required, or it would wreak havoc on other systems, since the draw us so low with LED that it plays with everything else in its path. with old gauges, it is difficult to modify them for LED, though i am sure its been done. now i havent looked at my wiring or how the bulbs work, but if they are wired, you have a couple of options. load equalizer on each line, or run a new harness for the just the light bulbs off of the ignition and install one equalizer in the harness( a bit of)ignition will have lights on all the time, from the switch would be more ideal. your gages flatlining without the lights turned on could be something as simple as a ground issue or an issue with the ignition feed, since they should be powered by the ignition and not the light, im leaning more toward something with your lightswitch affecting the circuit. I remember seeing LED gauge hardware for the C3 online somewhere, but it was a set of gauges that upgraded all. could be an option for you though. the wiring mess that awaits me in a few months on my build terrifies me a little!
